Up for sale is a Boston Green 1994 BMW 325I. The car has 134,108 miles which averages to be less than 10k a year. I have owned this car for about 3 years. This was my first BMW and it really is a fantastic car. I now own 7 different BMW’s and it is time to focus my attention on a couple of my favorites. The engine runs fantastic and with the exhaust note it is one of my favorite things about this car. Everything works on the car as it should: seats, windows, sunroof, door locks, stereo, power steering, etc. The interior is in decent shape but could use some attention. There are no rips or tears in the leather but there is some signs of age. I am cleaning and deep conditioning the leather now. The carpet is in good shape but the floor mats are only in ok condition and the front passenger mat is missing. I have cleaned and vacuumed the carpet and mats. The only thing I have not cleaned is the headliner and that is only because I am afraid I would loosen the fabric or something. I am sure a pro could clean it at a fair price. AC and heat works good.
The car has the following:
5-speed transmission
2.5L engine
Full power front seats
Power steering
6 disk cd changer
Power windows and locks
More
The following is an incomplete list of things I have done in the last 3000 miles.
New shocks and struts and all related hardware including bump stops, dust covers, spring pads, etc.
Upgraded E46 shock mounts with Z3 support brackets
Upgraded front strut reinforcement plates and gaskets(Z3)
Rear sway bar end links
Emergency brakes
Cross drilled and slotted rotors, new brake pads and sensors all around
New air filter and O2 sensor
New drive shaft flex guibo
New clutch fork, support clip and pivot button
New clutch throw out bearing(clutch is like new)
New shift linkage parts(ball cup, washers, etc)
New fuel filter
Basic tune up parts(plugs, wires, etc)
New Barum tires
New Control arm bushings and mounts
New control arms and ball joints
Loads of various door clips, screws, wiring clips, etc
New front door insulation panels
New leather shift and E-brake boots
New drivers door handle and lock assembly
Upgraded rear speakers to Harman Kardon 6x9’s
New door handle trim and gaskets
Clear Front turn signals
Chrome door lock pins
Clutch stop
Performance Chip (still have stock)
As I said this is an incomplete list as I am sure I am forgetting some items. I do have a lot of receipts which I will provide to the new owner. Also, as I mentioned above the clutch is like new. There was some rattling so I pulled the transmission and noticed the clutch fork pivot button was badly worn and the fork retainer clip was broken. I replaced these items as well as the throw out bearing because they seemed to be the source of the rattle. Clutch disk face still looked new. I also replaced the exhaust manifold to down pipe gaskets and nuts while in there. As I said before the car runs great and shows no codes.
Here are a few things that aren’t great but can be fixed with minor investment.
Passenger fog light is missing
Arm rest leather is dried out and due for a new cover
Seams at top of rear seat have separated some
Plenty of swirl marks in the paint
Some dings and paint chips
Could use some of the window trims replaced
No mount for 6 disk changer in trunk
Light Power Steering leak
Tie rod boots starting to show a little age
Front door speakers are due for replacing
Now has a split starting on the steering wheel cover
Most of these things are minor and if you are only a little bit resourceful you can take care of these items cheap. I can help you with these items. As far as the body there is no major damage just some Dent Wizard type stuff. The paint could use a good buff with swirl remover and then a nice wax. Currently it looks presentable. Not sure where the power steering leak is but it is very minor and does not affect the steering. I will provide new replacement tie rods for you although they are not causing any problems at this time.
As is, the car is good to go but just needs a few more items I never got to. The car currently is running Royal Purple synthetic motor oil. This car hasn’t even reached the halfway point in its life yet. I have done most of the important stuff so you don’t have to.
I will provide many pictures to interested parties. Car is for sale for $3600 cash. If you are serious, as I am, you can pm me and I will answer any questions I can openly and honestly. My name is Jason and the car is located in Acworth.
